Answer 1

Women's Changing Roll During 1900. January of 1914 several hundred women met with the premier of Manitoba � Had a petition demanding that women in Manitoba be allowed to vote � Nellie McClung said to the premier that they �did not want a gift or favour, but a right�� The premier of Manitoba did not take to heart what the women said saying to forget their �nonsense� and that women did not want to vote. � Men and women were not treated equally at the turn of the century � Women in Canada in the late 1800�s: � No woman had the right to vote. The election act of the dominion of Canada stated that �no woman, idiot, lunatic, or criminal shall vote�� Woman had no control in their families, were expected only to keep the house for their husbands, bear children, and were legally allowed to be beaten � Woman could not go to school and people could not wrap their heads around the idea that women could do jobs such as doctors and lawyers just as well as men could. Changing Roles: (in early 20th century) � Women began to work more outside their homes and in factories, mills, stores, and offices (most women in these jobs were unmarried) � These jobs paid far less than men�s jobs did and rarely got promotions � Many women worked as servants in upper class homes (these jobs paid extremely low wages but servants were in demand) � Wealthy women were given the chance to pursue interests in the arts and charitable work � Educated women were able to go into the teaching or nursing professions and soon took over the majority of teaching jobs � Woman began to create organizations such as the Women�s Christian Temperance Union, Emily Stowe and the Woman�s Literary Club, and Adelaide Hoodless and the Woman�s Institute � 1915- the new premier of Manitoba promised that Manitoba women be allowed to vote the bills was passed in the January of 1916. � Manitoba women were the first women in Canada allowed to vote �
